E.S.O Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Now we've had a look at the whole squad, barring injured players, what would be your team for the first league game? I'd go with: Thackeray Barnett Yere Ropati Taulapapa Lindsay Brooks Howieson Cook Stringer Szostak Corcoran Green Subs: Hepworth Barlow Exton Haley This is presuming Alex Rowe gets a ban, I think his disciplinary was today.

wings beneath my feet Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 10 tries you won't need a kicker but most of them will be under the sticks anyway so jack can do it! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

running-eagle Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Mitch, Tangi and Brendon can all kick goals. I'm sure there are others than can kick too, just risky going without a 'recognised' goalkicker against a good Fax side. Power beyond comprehension...

wings beneath my feet Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 There seems to be a theme here about Johnny not being in the team - mood as changed in the last few weeks - but I think it's right - might give him the impetus to pick his speed up and occassionally off load Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason he's not in my team is because Ashley Thackeray played a blinder at Oldham, and if he doesn't retain his place he's going to wonder what he has to do, no relfection on Jonny.

You could argue the same for John Coleman, his Goal Kicking and Try were pretty important contributions in the Oldham game.

His goal kicking is top notch from what we've seen so far, his try was a walk in. He doesn't contribute enough in my opinion, certainly not to get in the team ahead of Menzie or Tangi.

I didn't positively say that John Coleman should be in the team, I argued that your analysis was comparable....A good performance was put in by both players. By the way it is very early days to claim John doesn't "contribute enough". He has stepped up a few leagues to put himself in contention for the outstanding Eagles!!!.....I do believe you should consider fielding a recognised Goal Kicker, they do put points on the board.....PS Well done for starting this thread.

No disrespect to John Coleman at all, like you say he has stepped up a few leagues, but I wouldn't call his performance at Oldham a good one, particularly defensively. He is a good goal kicker, but to kick goals someone needs to score the tries, and that's why Menzie and Tangi must start in the centres. I suppose in hindsight, presuming he's fully fit, Woodcock will have to start to cover the goal kicking base, but this would be extremely harsh on Thackeray.

Eagleraider Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I think the 17 which the coaching team deem to be the most reliable, fit and contain the ability to rise to a scorned 'Fax side who will be out to put right the last 3 consecutive defeats by the Eagles. Calland will have targeted several, but I think Tubbs and the team will have some aces up their sleeves and folks like Ged, Sam, Mitch and Jack will have a point to prove. So my 17 will be the ones selected on the day Semper In Facaebus Summus Sole Profundum Veriat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
